" To @ZZ whom t mol/y concern:

B e it known that l, Minions@ Gonnos, e subject of the King of Greet Britain, residing et W'est Kensington, London, England, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Ladies Hat-Fastening Devices, of which the following is a specification, such es will enebie those skilled in the nrt to which it eppertains to make and use the seme.

The object oi this invention is to provide en improvement for holding e ledys hat on her head; and with this and other objects in View the invention consists of a. device of the cless of e blank from which the seme is mede; Fig.

3, s. section on the line 3 3 of Fig. i.; Fig. 4c, e perspective view oie modiiicetion, and Fig. 5 s similar view oi' another modilicetion.

1n the practice of niv invention, as shown in Figs. l to 3, inclusive, 1 employ o curved 1 back portion c, and side portions c and in..

ange or coronet a, which is shaped something like a horseshoe and comprises e semicireuiar which is formed or phtced e comb the teeth of which project forwardly in the seme directions as the side portions a?. rihis device, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, is preferehiyinede from a. sheet of any suitable materiel stamped into the form as shown in Fig. 2, the curved back portion ai thereof consisting of seperate sections c, separated by V-shaped recesses ci "T-ndefterhe-hienk.shoe/nin Fig. 2 hes been stamped ontit may he hentintothe position shown in Fig. i., end the separate beck sections a* may be connected by. stitching, as' shown et o, or in any desired manner. The

. material may consist of celluloid.- erticial ivory, metal, .or any other-suitable nmteriah sono no. 164,216. (no man.;

shell, if desired, and may be made entirelyin one piece, es shown :in Fig. 4, or the comb portion b may be hinged tothe back portion, Yes shown atl c in Fig. 5, and various forms may be given to the side portions a?, and in are provided with a number of perfor-ations pin g may be passed, as shown in Fig. 1.

The device may be ornamented in any deof one piece may be formed into a scrollv or of any desired shape. 1

In this manner I construct a scmicireular perforated corone, the perforated portion ot' which is perpendicular` 'relatively to the top or crown or' the head when in use, and the teeth of the comb part thereoiI are in practice inserted into the hair above the forehead. This formen iirm support over which the hat is placed end through which is passed the Imt- `pin g, and a number of het-pins may be employed., if desired.

I moy in some cases dispense with hat-pins by forming the corona of elastic material littng or pressing upon the interior of the hatcrown end having e surface more or less roughened or serrated.

Having fully described rnyinvention, what i claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters stent, isl An attaching device for ladiesl hats com# pria-.ing a comb provided with e corone or rim et right angles thereto, and consisting of front end. side portions, the side portions being finelyy perforated so es to permit s hatpin to pass therethrough et any point, substantially as shown and described.

in testimony that I claim the `foregoing as my invention i have signed my name, in presence o the subscribing witnesses, this 23d day of June, 1903.
